HTC Desire 200: cheap but still Markowo. The question is whether the meaning? - Computer World (press release)

The new smartphone will be available in the coming weeks – probably in late June and July. The HTC will offer the cheapest model and replace obsolete HTC Desire C . Taiwanese manufacturer despite the initial declaration of the end of last year, clearly was not going to withdraw from the budget segment.

What will offer the HTC Desire 200?

addition to a decent design, good quality, and well-known brand – rather little.

HTC Desire 200 is a smartphone powered generation processors currently weakest Qualcomm, Snapdragon S1 labeled. We have a single core 1 GHz rather average graphics Adreno 200 and only 512 MB of RAM. Little can squeeze out of this in the era of Android 4.x In the same way as they used smartphones whether this series Wildfire Desire C, the new Desire handset 200 is more for the least demanding users. Such a proposal “Start”.

The new smartphone has a 3.5-inch LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, and a 5-megapixel camera. Lacks a front camera and built-in memory of 4GB demands immediate use microSD slot free. Otherwise it will be difficult to use the most potent of the new smartphone – support for Beats Audio technology (pretty decent handset HTC throws in a box). Music as you’ve probably guessed it needs a lot of memory. No microSD card there’s no way.

HTC

not betray what version of Android will debut Desire 200, but you can go ahead and shoot, it will be a system in version 4.1 Jelly Bean seasoned with Sense UI, of course, inseparable. There’s no count on functionality such as the Home BlinkFeed, which is reserved for smartphones with high-and mid-end (Series One and Desire 600).

biggest unknown for another cheaper handsets from HTC, is the question of whether it will be for the new firmware. Let’s hope that this time, HTC will not collapse and Desire 200 will see its software updates. His predecessor was famous because of the fact that a few months after the release of the producer deleted from the device list waiting for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This policy caused considerable resentment among members Desire C.

If the same scenario will be repeated in this case and HTC Desire 200 update will not see the image of Taiwanese brands can be tarnished once again. So if your operator for some time you propose HTC Desire 200 for a penny, I suggest before carefully check whether you can count on the new firmware. You better make some time for this business, than to wake up with good-looking but outdated smartphone.

Price HTC Desire 200 is kept secret. Probably did not exceed 600 z? on its market debut.
